Jones College Prep students are planning a walkout, and the Chicago Teachers Union has called for the removal of principal Joseph Powers after a student came to school on Halloween dressed in a German military uniform and gave a Nazi salute.
Chicago Public Schools announced Friday that Jones College Prep Principal Joseph Powers has been removed from “principal duties, effective immediately, pending the results” of an investigation into his response to a student who came to school on Halloween dressed in a German military uniform, goose-stepped across a stage during a costume contest and gave a Nazi salute.
The Chicago Teachers Union on Friday had called for his removal and students had planned to stage a walkout from class Monday.“As many of you may have heard, seen, or read, there was an incident earlier this week where a member of one of our school communities wore a German military uniform to school as a Halloween costume — an act that was widely recognized by many students, staff and members of our broader CPS community as antisemitic.
